FANS SHONE BRIGHT
For some Singapore and regional Carats (the fandom’s name is inspired by Seventeen’s debut EP, Shining Diamonds) who made their way to the show, their three-year wait finally came to an end when the stars took to the stage on Saturday.
For the rest of the fans, that magic moment will take place on Sunday as the group will perform its second show then.
The two concerts in Singapore are part of the band’s fourth world tour, Seventeen Right Here World Tour, which also includes regional stops in the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia.
As the audience caught a glimpse of the 11 members slowly appearing during the group’s grand entrance, cheers erupted among the excited fans – proving that the wait was definitely worthwhile.
With their energetic, synchronised performances, 11 of the 13 members sent ripples of Kallang waves – and waves of excitement – in a sea of Carats.
But wait, shouldn’t there be 17 members because of the group’s name? Not at all. The group’s moniker is actually derived from adding up “13” (the number of members) and “3” (the group is divided into three sub-units consisting of hip-hop, performance and vocal) and “1” (as in one cohesive group).
